Bit is a stool by Danish designer Simon Legald for Normann Copenhagen. It is moulded from small pieces of recycled plastic, mostly industrial waste, which melt together into a speckled surface that looks a little like terrazzo or a pixelated image. Because the pieces fall differently each time, the pattern and colour shift slightly from stool to stool.
One stool, many jobs
It is light enough to carry with one hand and tough enough to leave outside. People use it as an extra seat, a bedside table, a plant stand, or a plinth for a lamp. Several in different colours make a playful group in a kids' room or a covered outdoor area.
The shapes
- Bit Stool Cone: tapered, about 42 cm high. The most versatile.
- Bit Stool Stack: designed to stack for storage.
- Bit Side Table: a wider top for drinks or books.
- Barstools in 65 cm for a kitchen bench and 75 cm for a bar-height counter.
Choosing a colour
Black and white is the easiest to place. Blue and yellow are bolder and look good outdoors. Expect a little variation from the photos, which is part of what makes each one yours.
